SEATTLE – July 29, 2015 –With
fall around the
corner, Redhook Brewery announced today it is bringing back its
long-time seasonal favorite “Out of Your Gourd” Pumpkin Porter, which
will be on shelves nationwide within the next few weeks.

Out
of Your Gourd Pumpkin Porter’s dark, chestnut brown color comes from a
mix of puréed pumpkin and roasted malts, enhanced by cinnamon,
nutmeg and ginger with a touch of maple syrup. Northern Brewer hops
give this rich and roasty Pumpkin Porter a lightly-hopped, full-bodied
character.

“If
fall had a flavor, it would taste like Out of Your Gourd Pumpkin
Porter. For 2015, we updated the recipe for this increasingly popular
fall seasonal by fine-tuning the malt bill to create a smoother flavor
profile that allows the pumpkin and spice to shine,” said Nick Crandall,
innovation brewer for Redhook Brewery. “At less than 6% ABV, it’s the
perfect beer to pair with a night around the
bonfire or reclining in front of the TV for game night.”

Redhook’s
Out of Your Gourd Pumpkin Porter will be available in 6- and 12-packs
in 12 oz. bottles and individual 22 oz. bottles. It will
hit shelves in early August 2015 and be available for a limited time.
The beer will be poured on draught with a cleaver-shaped tap handle as a
nod to pumpkin carving. ABV 5.8%; IBU 20.

About Redhook

Redhook
was born out of the energy and spirit of the early 1980s in the heart
of Seattle. While the term didn’t exist at the time, Redhook became
one of America’s first “craft” breweries. From a modest start in a
former transmission shop in the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard, to the
current breweries in Woodinville, Wash., and Portsmouth, N.H., Redhook
has become one of America’s most recognized craft
breweries.

While
Redhook has “grown up” over the past 30 years, one thing has never
changed — Redhook is still brewing great beers like ESB, Long Hammer IPA
and Audible Ale. Most importantly, Redhook has fun doing it. Redhook
beers are available both on draught and in bottles around the country.
